Comment #3 From Brion Vibber 2005-04-25 06:10:15 UTC -------
It might make sense to explicitly disallow the Zl and Zp chars (line separator and paragraph separator), and normalize all the Zs chars to spaces (well, underscores) in title processing.
At first glance this seems like a trivial and uncontroversial change, so I'm curious why it wasn't done 3 1/2 years ago.
On the other hand some browsers apparently convert esoteric whitespace literals back to \u0020 in the <textarea> anyway whether the original change was malicious or not.
